Als feststeht, dass es sich bei dem Toten um den Enthüllungsjournalisten Sam Nimmo handelt, hat DCI Karen Pirie einen perfekten Cold Case: Nimmo war vor 11 Jahren unter äußerst merkwürdigen Umständen verschwunden.

Kein Grab ist tief genug für die Wahrheit! Eine "Schatzkarte" ihres verstorbenen Großvaters führt eine junge Amerikanerin in die schottischen Highlands zu einem abgelegenen Ort mitten im Moor: Dort stößt sie auf ein vergrabenes, erstaunlich gut erhaltenes Motorrad, Baujahr 1944 - und auf eine männliche Leiche deutlich jüngeren Datums. DCI Karen Pirie, spezialisiert auf Cold Cases, ist eigentlich wegen eines anderen Falles in der Gegend, doch der Tote im Moor lässt ihr keine Ruhe. Er trägt ein sehr spezielles Paar Nike-Sneakers, eine Sonderanfertigung aus dem Jahr 1995. Und er ist offensichtlich keines natürlichen Todes gestorben.

Zu gern verliert die 17-jährige Pfarrerstochter Cat Morland sich in der Welt der Bücher und träumt von aufregenden Abenteuern, die sie in ihrer Heimat im ländlichen Piddle Valley leider niemals finden wird.

La specialità dello psicologo e profiler Tony Hill è scandagliare le menti dei criminali e comprenderne i meccanismi. A fronte di una misteriosa serie di omicidi che vede vittime degli psicologi brutalmente uccisi e segnati con un atroce scalpo rituale, è a lui che le autorità si rivolgono per decodificare la folle logica che sta mietendo vittime tra i suoi colleghi.

Le adolescenti di una piccola cittadina stanno scomparendo una dopo l'altra, senza lasciare tracce. Le autorità sono convinte che siano fuggite, forse attratte dalla città, ma chi ha indagato i meccanismi del crimine sa che si tratta di una spiegazione troppo debole. Tocca allo psicologo Tony Hill trovare il filo rosso che lega le sparizioni.

When some of Sam's customers get sick, it looks like food poisoning, and it's exacerbated by the mud, rain and inadequate sanitary facilities.
